Understandably, many of our readers have asked why, when we report on the number of deaths at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital Trust, we have not reported on the number of people who have recovered.
That is a very fair question.
ITV’s Robert Peston asked the Department of Heath and Social Care. (DHSC) for an explanation.
Their response is below.
In the UK, 646 coronavirus-related deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours, bringing the total to 30,076 as of today (Wednesday 6 May).
YourThurrock’s thoughts are with all of those affected by the coronavirus.
